Notes for Richard McAllaster:
The Mcallasters came from Argyleshire, Scotland to North Ireland, and lived in Londonderry and Antrim Counties.
Richard McAllaster was born about 1705.He was an ancestor of one branch of the Antrim county, North Ireland McAllaster's. In about 1735 he married Ann Miller, and sometime within the next 3 years they had a son born there named Archibald.
Richard and Ann came to America during the winter of 1738-1739. While crossing the Atlantic, Ann gave birth to a 2nd son named John. They arrived in America at the Boston bay, and landed near the trading post called Winnisimmet, which is now called Chelsea, Mass.
Almost at once Richard and his family found their way to Londonderry, NH as we conclude, for in 1741 he was a citizen there in full standing. Also in 1741,while living in Londonderry, Ann bore Richard
a 3rd son named William.
Not long after this there was a migration from Londonderry to the settlement of Narragansett, No.5 and the community was known as "Souhegan East" now Bedford, N. H. It was probably in the spring of 1743 when Richard and family moved to Bedford. The place where they settled is West Bedford Center, and is now known as the Hadley Stevens farm a few rods west of the village, only 4 miles from the present city of Manchester.
His name appears among the Petitioners of Souhegan East, June 12,1744, to the Governor and assembly for protection against the Indians. He was one of the leading landholders at the organization of the town in 1750,and one of the subscribers to the petition to Gov. Wentworth, May 10, 1750 asking
for special privileges to raise money for Presbyterian Services in Bedford. In 1773 He was Constable
of Bedford.
Richard and Ann had 7 more children born in Bedford, N.H. At the present time it is not known the exact date that Richard died. There is no record of Richards death in Bedford. His wife Ann Died March 12, 1776 at 67 years old, and it is believed that he may have died earlier that same year or followed
